📋 About This Mod

Description

This is a completely subjective lighting mod for Legacy of the Dragonborn. Vanilla LOTD rarely uses shadow-casting lights, so I figure I'd add some.

  • []Adds more shadow casting lights to the museum, safehouse, guild house, and airship

    []Affected interiors are brighter and less yellow on average

    []Subjective edits based on personal tastes

    []ESL-flagged
